ACCC files against Dusk over non-compliant button batteries

The ACCC has filed Federal Court proceedings against Dusk Australasia for supplying 66,453 button-battery products across 29 lines between May 2023 and December 2024 that did not meet mandatory safety and information standards, with 25 lines not tested before sale and four lacking required warnings; Dusk had previously breached a court-enforceable undertaking and paid penalties. The regulator emphasizes that such testing gaps pose serious safety risks to children and that compliance with the standards remains a priority for enforcement.
